put down the douche and tonic and read the premise of the thread. Its a "what do you think" and I said I didnt like the deal for the Knicks.
Here is what I think...This is one of the worse fan trades I have ever seen on a message board. You even admit in the same post that we can possibly get a better deal for that package somewhere else, lol.
You are essentially giving up THREE quality NBA role players for a mid-level first rd pick!! Lee, KOQ and McDermott are the players the Knicks should be trying to hold on to and you want to package them ALL TOGETHER for ONE mid-level first round pick in what appears to be a very WEAK upcoming draft.
Good on you for proposing it and starting a convo but this is a pretty bad trade for the Knicks.
well thats the point man... I like Harkless and the pick helps but you must admit... how people value Knick players on this board varies wildly.
I posted it trying to come up with trades the Knicks could make that would help other teams. Most proposals are 1 sided helping only us. Im posting this from reverse... If I am Portland what would I propose to the Knicks? and I think something like this is a reasonable offer from them. For us? I think we can do better. How much better? Its possible a deal like this is the best thing on the table we will get. That is NOT me endorsing it, just speculating.
Then during the draft Briggs will have a list of 40 player in the draft better than KOQ/LEE and McD and remind us how his prospects are better than guys like Lee making $11mm in the NBA and how if we had that Portland pick he would have 1 of 7 guys with franchise talent and chiseled greasy man bodies ready to step in make every little thing allllll right. This will carry on for 5 weeks, consisting of 3-5 new threads a week directly addressing this supplemented by 2 additional threads that appear to be different subjects but are more of the same.
